Thermal deflection is a rare, natural phenomenon that can occur when sunlight reflects off of a surface with enough heat to distort siding or other materials. The damage can be to one’s own residence, or to a nearby home.

How does it happen?

A combination of various factors needs to be in place for the thermal deflection phenomenon to occur, including some or all of the following:

Certain times of year and sunlight angles

Close proximity of home exterior walls

Structure design

Surfaces such as window glass, roof shingles, asphalt or swimming pools that could reflect sunlight

Heat radiating from nearby surfaces such as driveways, air conditioning compressors and barbeque grills

Lack of trees and shrubs, fences and cloud cover to divert sunlight

Are the products involved in thermal deflection defective or were they improperly installed?

No, a thermal deflection incident does not necessarily indicate that product performance or installation were improper. The natural phenomenon instead indicates the presence of some or all of the above factors.

What can I do to avoid, or stop, thermal deflection?

Unfortunately, it is difficult or even impossible to predict if thermal deflection is going to occur in any particular situation. Nevertheless, to minimize your risk you can:

Use full screens in your windows

Use trees and shrubs to block or diffuse the sun’s rays

What do I do if it happens?

The homeowner should contact their insurance company, and see if it is covered by their policy.

Blinds Between Glass stay dust-free, are safe for children and pets, and are easy to care for and operate. These videos show you how to care for your Blinds Between Glass and how to use them for optimal convenience and enjoyment.

Blinds Between Glass raise and lower with the use of magnets inside the glass and on the external operator. Occasionally, the operator can come loose from the internal magnets, causing the blind to not operate properly.

Although Blinds Between Glass never require dusting, the glass itself must be kept clean to ensure easy operation. If operating your blind is taking more force than usual, you might need to clean the glass.

If your Blinds Between Glass have been in a raised position for a long time, the blinds might now lower properly when first lowered. “Exercising” the blinds will correct this issue.

Occasionally when operating Blinds Between Glass, the blind might become out-of-level, with one side of the blind being higher than the other.
